KU-Northern Illinois kickoff set for 2:30 p.m. Sept. 22

Game to be shown on ESPN3

Kickoff for the Kansas University football program's Week 4 game at Northern Illinois on Saturday, Sept. 22, has been set for 2:30 p.m.

The game will be broadcast live on ESPN3.

KU's final non-conference game of the season will mark the third-straight national broadcast for the Jayhawks, who lost to Rice last weekend on Fox Sports Net and will welcome Big 12 foe TCU to Memorial Stadium Saturday for a game that will be shown on FX.

KU and NIU have met on two previous occasions, most recently in 2011 with Kansas claiming a 45-42 win in Lawrence.
